Special Homecoming section: WSC rises "Up Where We Belong" By Brent Mark Staff writer of The Signpost Last week's accreditation of all three WSC nursing degrees by the National League of Nursing has the administration and faculty elated. "We have just received our initial accreditation. This is exciting for a first-time program," said Baccalaureate Unit Coordinator Carol E. Davis last week. "We're tremendously excited," Davis said. "The requirements are rigorous,and the board puts you through some exacting measures. You almost have to walk on water." Accreditation means Weber meets national standards and guidelines. Graduates "We're tremendously excited. The requirements are rigorous ... You almost have to walk on water." Carol B. Davis Baccelaureate Unit Coordinator wanting to do post-graduate work find admission easier coming from accredited schools. Students transferring from an accredited university can transfer to other accredited universities fairly easily, Davis said. The accreditation means some exciting things can happen for Weber, according to Director of Nursing Programs Jerry Hansen. She added that two programs, the practical nursing unit degree and the associate nursing degree, which were already in existence, do not have to be accredited until 1998. The baccalaureate program has to be examined by the board again in 1995. The baccalaureate prepares students to deal with the administrative side of the hospital, not strictly taking care of patients. "Nurses need to be able to change policy, implement new policy and write policy," Davis said. But nurses need to be able to influence the legislature in passing bills to improve health care. (See NURSING page 3) ASWSC continues efforts for library fund drive By Sue Richey Staff writer of The Sgnpost Student body President Doug Peterson asked the ASWSC Senate for help Monday in manning booths set up to raise funds for the library. According to a bill passed by the Utah state legislature, $500,000 has been appropriated to nine institutions for library acquisitions, library equipment or automation of libraries. The bill states that for every dollar of "new" money raised through student dona tions or contributions, two state dollars would be allocated for their libraries. Weber State has the opportunity to obtain 17 percent, or $85,000, of the appropriations, providing the college raises $39,850. Peterson's goal is to raise $40,000 by the end of winter quarter. The fund raising effort has been up and running two weeks and has collected $1,700 in donations and pledges. Some of the library fund raising activities planned in the coming weeks are an auction by the cheerleaders and a"Jail-a-thon," in which students pay to have their friends or faculty members thrown in jail. Other ASWSC Senate actions: Ari Hunsaker, arts and humanities senator, reported on the service requirement being studied by the senate's ad hoc committee. Dr. Candadai Seshachari, head of the English department and Dr. Sher-win Howard, dean of the School of Arts and Humanities, suggested the college institute a new program which would require a student earning a associate degree to do 30 hours of community service for graduation.
